Product Description
Myth: Osteoporosis is a normal part of getting older. Truth: You can prevent osteoporosis. Dr. Notelovitz has spent his career helping women prevent osteoporosis (or stop its progression), both in his women's clinic and in the 1st edition of Stand Tall, which sold over 1 million copies. This all-new edition brings together the latest medical information. It covers every aspect of the problem: how your body controls bone mass; the factors (genetic, hormonal, lifestyle, etc.) that can lead to bone loss; the most accurate way to find out if you are losing bone; therapies (including nutrition; the new non-hormonal drugs; site-specific bone-building exercise) for prevention and/or treatment; side effects of drugs; pros and cons of estrogen; results of the most important research; and a whole lot more. Preventing ostseoporosis is still not addressed by all physicians. With Stand Tall as a resource, women will have the tools for taking an active role in their own health care decisions and will know how to communicate their needs to their doctor. |
